thanks heaps Mak!!
it is a bit daunting atm, but we'll get there!
im so over being tired all the time and cant wait to have some energy back, thought i was feeling this way because of the kids! and you'd think with all this sugar running around my system i'd be pumped up and ready to go!
i had undiagnosed GD with DD2 and its stuck around, so glad ive changed doctors

I have Type 2 as well. The taste website has some great recipes. Also the Diabetes Australia- Victoria website has some recipes there too. It also has a great reference for reading food labels to help meet your needs.

Just wanted to say that my dietician was a great help too.

How are you going Skybie? Hope you are settling in ok - I remembered also that I found the magazine Diabetic Living (I think) also had some good recipes to get started. Also I found home made things - so baking etc had a much less impact on my BSL than processed/bought items. xx

hey Mak! going well, was admitted to hospital on tuesday because my keytones were 5.6 and needed stabilising, turns out im type 1 not type 2.
on novorapid 3 times a day and levemir at night, getting used to injecting myself, its not as bad as i though it was going to be which is good!
just adjusting to checking my sugar levels and doing the injections, im sure i'll work out a system soon enough, takes me about 10 mins atm!!

Hey Skybie, if you need a bit of support or want to ask anything you are welcome to pop into the gestational diabetes thread - there are lots of good tips for managing BSL's.

Skybie that sucks...ketones make you feel like absolute ****e.......if you want to ask any questions about type 1 feel free to pm me hun....30 yr veteran here...it can be a fairly steep learning curve but know that there are a couple of us on here who can answer questions and give some support!

I also recommend the diabetic living magazine...I love it to bits and pieces and it has awesome recipes....also grab a copy \of The New Glucose revolution by Jennie Brand Miller....it is the bible that explains the GI factor of food and how it all works...it will make it alkl so much easier if you can wrap your head around it.
